Ryanair fined 8m euros by French court (bbc.co.uk)

October 3, 2013

A French court has fined Ryanair more than 8m euros (£6.7m) after ruling that it had broken local labour laws.

The court found Ryanair acted illegally when it employed more than 120 staff on Irish contracts at its former Marseille operating hub between 2007 and 2010.

The low-cost airline said it would appeal against the ruling.

Ryanair was ordered to pay a 200,000 euro fine, but the court denied a request to fine it the equivalent value of the four aircraft based at the hub.
